dusty dolphin co. clare ireland ,sept,23,2009.

recorded by my friend trev, this is me with "dusty" a wild bottlenose dolphin , who lives off the coast of co. clare , ireland. she's been swimming with people for more than nine years....... if you meet her show her the full respect she desrves. she is a wild animal and as such should be approached gently , with great care, caution, respect. do not grab or try to hold on to her ....(we know each other for eight years now).... and if boating in her area, remember propellers can kill, or cause major injuries to her or swimmers .
